Developing a plan to resume classes this fall remains a work in progress for the administration and staff of the Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn Community School District.

Kim Reynolds issued a proclamation the previous week that outlines the state's Return to Learn strategy in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Iowa Code states that traditional in-person classes are the "presumed method of...

• July 26, 1945 There had not been as much comment about anything on Hartley’s main street as there was in the case of the “missing bench.” Before it was put on the missing list, the bench was situated just north of the entrance to the new post office, but one bright day it disappeared. Comment was both for and against its absence and amateur sleuthing was rampant, but no matter of investigation divulged its whereabouts. It was just plain gone. Workmen were busy getting things arranged so that the school building would be ready for occupan...

"You deserve to win this game. Let's go!"

• July 12, 1945 Those who could stir themselves at that hour saw the eclipse of the sun in Hartley. At a few minutes after six the moon started its downward course across the sun.

Opponents' late-inning scoring sprees kept Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn winless in three softball games last week. An eight-run fifth inning in South O'Brien's 13-2 win was a sign of things to come.

After surrendering 26 runs in two previous games, the Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn baseball team had chances to get into the win column at South O'Brien on June 25.
